IMT-2000 Standards Development

• Goal: anytime, anywhere, anyone – the deployment of IMT-2000 systems started in year 2000

• Systems Beyond IMT-2000 capabilities, which extend and enhance IMT-2000, are expected to include:

• Higher data rates• Improved roaming• True inter-system mobility management

• Greater flexibility to support many different types of services simultaneously (example: symmetrical, asymmetrical & unidirectional services)

Goal

• IMT-2000 original minimum requirements for radio technology evaluation:

• 144 kbit/s for vehicular high speed• 384 kbit/s for medium speed, and• 2048 kbit/s for indoor and low speed

• Currently the standard supports up to 10 Mbit/s, and further enhancements are being developed, possibly up to 30 Mbit/s by 2005

• Research targets for systems beyond IMT-2000 for deployment after 2010:

• 100 Mbit/s for high mobility• 1Gbit/s for low mobility

Evolving Capabilities

• Along with the future development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000, relationships will continue to develop between different communications and radio access systems. Ex:

•Wireless personal area networks (WPANs)•Local area networks (LANs and WLANs)•Digital broadcast•Fixed wireless access

• Systems will increasingly be designed as a combination of different access technologies

• Will provide a common and flexible service platform for different services and applications

• Key driver for this convergence is the increasing prevalence of IP-based applications

Evolving Relationships

Fusion

Recommendation ITU-R M.1645

"Systems beyond IMT‑2000 should be realized by the functional fusion of existing, enhanced and newly developed elements of IMT-2000, nomadic wireless access systems and other wireless systems with high commonality and seamless interworking and interoperability"

Enhancing IMT-2000 i.e. “fast packet” up to 10 Mbit/s, 30 Mbit/s by 2005 ?

Relationship with other radio systems e.g. Digital broadcast, RLAN, etc.

New radio interface(s) i.e. research target 100 – 1000 Mbit/s (full to low mobility)

Dashed line indicates that the exact data rates associated with systems beyond

IMT-2000 are not yet determined

New Mobile Access

• Significant technology trends need to be considered in defining the framework and objectives for systems beyond IMT-2000

• R&D should consider these trends & provide guidance on their applicability or influence to systems beyond IMT-2000:

• System-related technologies, example:• VoIP• Seamless mobility• Security & privacy

• Access network & radio interface, including• Modulation and coding schemes• Multiple access schemes• Software defined radio & reconfigurable systems• Adaptive radio interface• New antenna concepts & technologies

Technology Trends

• Trends continued:

• Utilization of spectrum•New techniques to increase spectrum utilization & efficiency, and to allow sharing of spectrum between users (ex. Adaptive antennas, MIMO, adaptive dynamic channel assignment)

• Mobile terminal, example technologies:• Man-machine interfaces• Software defined radio & multi-mode terminals• RF MEMS• Battery technology

• Applications•Speech & video streaming•APIs•Data coding & compression techniques

Technology Trends

Spectrum

• Need to plan use of spectrum already identified• Recommendation ITU-R M.1036 806-960, 1710-2025, 2110-2200 and 2500-2690 MHz• Including new methods for reuse and sharing of spectrum; and new technologies for efficient use of spectrum

• WRC-07 agenda item to address future requirements• Recommendation ITU-R M.1645• Resolution 802 (WRC‑03)• Resolution 228 (Rev.WRC-03)

2007 World Radiocommunication Conference

Agenda item 1.4

“to consider frequency-related matters for the future development of IMT‑2000 and systems beyond IMT‑2000, taking into account the results of ITU‑R studies in accordance with Resolution 228 (Rev.WRC‑03)”

Resolution 802 (WRC‑03)

resolves

1 to further study technical and operational issues …;

2 to report to WRC‑07 on the spectrum requirements and potential frequency ranges …;

3 to conduct regulatory and technical studies on the usage of frequencies below those identified for IMT-2000 …;

4 to take into consideration the particular needs of developing countries including use of the satellite component of IMT‑2000 …;

5 to include sharing and compatibility studies with services already having allocations in potential spectrum …;

6 that WRC‑07 should consider frequency-related matters for the future development of IMT‑2000 and systems beyond IMT‑2000 …,

Resolution 228 (Rev.WRC-03)

• In analysing the spectrum implications of the future development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000, many issues must be addressed, including:

• Traffic projections & requirements• Service & application requirements• Spectrum efficiency• Radio transmission characteristics• Global roaming requirements & harmonized use of spectrum• Technical solutions to facilitate global roaming• Techniques of dynamic spectrum sharing• Sharing and compatibility analysis• Evolution of IMT-2000 systems

Rec. ITU-R M.1645:

• “Research, on a global basis, be undertaken to address the framework detailed in this Recommendation and into a potential new wireless access technique(s) for the terrestrial component”

• “Research on the specifications for the future development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000 consider how these systems may relate to other radio technologies and systems and how all systems will continue to evolve”

• “New technologies and technology trends be studied”

Research & Development

• Research forums and other external organizations are encouraged to focus especially on:

• Radio interface(s) and their interoperability• Access network related issues• Spectrum related issues• Traffic characteristics• User estimations

• Many organizations currently involved in R&D of systems beyond IMT-2000 or B3G, including:

• WWRF – Wireless World Research Forum• NGMC – Next Generation Mobile Communication• mITF – mobile IT Forum• CCSA – China Communications Standards Association

External R&D

• Flexibility is “designed in” from the outset

• Enhancements already being standardized and will evolve considerably over next 10-15 years – open and market led

• Relationship with other radio systems will take place on a market led basis – regulatory considerations

• New radio interface(s) are expected to be required sometime between 2010-2015

• Spectrum aspects will be considered at WRC-07

• Global cooperation of R&D fora encouraged
